If you're not yet aware: 14 July is quite possibly the best date on which to be born. Several notable people were born on this day, such as Owen Wister, Woody Guthrie, Gerald Ford, and Adam Quinn. Not only that, buy several important events have happened on this day: the French citizens took matters into their own hands, Louis VII became king of France (not in that order), and the US Government finally acknowledged the existence of Area 51 (but keep it a secret, all right!).

Sadly, 14 July isn't without its losses. We lost such notable figures as King Philip II of France (hence Louis VII being king!), Bernard-René de Launay (a casualty of Bastille day), and Billy the Kid.

Have you ever wanted a listing of all the notable or important things that happened on your birthday? And how many days, hours, minutes, seconds, etc. you'd be on the exact moment so many years after your birth? Have you wanted all of this, and your birthday is on 14 July? If so, then this book may be of interest. Granted, it was published so long ago that all the relevant information has most likely been supplanted by the internet, it still may make a good novelty gift for that Bijou de Bastille in your life.
